FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention is in the field of antiinflammatory pharmaceutical agentsand specifically relates to compounds, compositions and methods fortreating inflammation and inflammation-associated disorders, such asarthritis.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Prostaglandins play a major role in the inflammation process and theinhibition of prostaglandin production, especially production of PGG₂,PGH₂ and PGE₂, has been a common target of antiinflammatory drugdiscovery. However, common non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)that are active in reducing the prostaglandin-induced pain and swellingassociated with the inflammation process are also active in affectingother prostaglandin-regulated processes not associated with theinflammation process. Thus, use of high doses of most common NSAIDs canproduce severe side effects, including life threatening ulcers, thatlimit their therapeutic potential. An alternative to NSAIDs is the useof corticosteroids, which have even more drastic side effects,especially when long term therapy is involved.

Previous NSAIDs have been found to prevent the production ofprostaglandins by inhibiting enzymes in the human arachidonicacid/prostaglandin pathway, including the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX).The recent discovery of an inducible enzyme associated with inflammation(named "cyclooxygenase II (COX II)" or "prostaglandin G/H synthase II")provides a viable target of inhibition which more effectively reducesinflammation and produces fewer and less drastic side effects.

The novel compounds described herein are such safe and also effectiveantiinflammatory agents. The invention compounds are found to showusefulness in vivo as antiinflammatory agents with minimal side effects.The compounds described herein preferably selectively inhibitcyclooxygenase II over cyclooxygenase I.

BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION

Rat Carrageenan Foot Pad Edema Test

The carrageenan foot edema test was performed with materials, reagentsand procedures essentially as described by Winter, et al., (Proc. Soc.Exp. Biol. Med., 111, 544 (1962)). Male Sprague-Dawley rats wereselected in each group so that the average body weight was as close aspossible. Rats were fasted with free access to water for over sixteenhours prior to the test. The rats were dosed orally (1 mL) withcompounds suspended in vehicle containing 0.5% methylcellulose and0.025% surfactant, or with vehicle alone. One hour later a subplantarinjection of 0.1 mL of 1% solution of carrageenan/sterile 0.9% salinewas administered and the volume of the injected foot was measured with adisplacement plethysmometer connected to a pressure transducer with adigital indicator. Three hours after the injection of the carrageenan,the volume of the foot was again measured. The average foot swelling ina group of drug-treated animals was compared with that of a group ofplacebo-treated animals and the percentage inhibition of edema wasdetermined (Otterness and Bliven, Laboratory Models for Testing NSAIDs,in Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, (J. Lombardino, ed. 1985)).The % inhibition shows the % decrease from control paw volume determinedin this procedure and the data for selected compounds in this inventionare summarized in Table I.

Rat Carrageenan-induced Analgesia Test

The analgesia test using rat carrageenan was performed with materials,reagents and procedures essentially as described by Hargreaves, et al.,(Pain, 32, 77 (1988)). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated aspreviously described for the Carrageenan Foot Pad Edema test. Threehours after the injection of the carrageenan, the rats were placed in aspecial plexiglass container with a transparent floor having a highintensity lamp as a radiant heat source, positionable under the floor.After an initial twenty minute period, thermal stimulation was begun oneither the injected foot or on the contralateral uninjected foot. Aphotoelectric cell turned off the lamp and timer when light wasinterrupted by paw withdrawal. The time until the rat withdraws its footwas then measured. The withdrawal latency in seconds was determined forthe control and drug-treated groups, and percent inhibition of thehyperalgesic foot withdrawal determined. Results are shown in Table I.

Recombinantviruses were purified by three rounds of plaque purification and hightiter (10E7-10E8 pfu/ml) stocks of virus were prepared. For large scaleproduction, SF9 insect cells were infected in 10 liter fermentors(0.5×10⁶ /ml) with the recombinant baculovirus stock such that themultiplicity of infection was 0.1. After 72 hours the cells werecentrifuged and the cell pellet homogenized in Tris/Sucrose (50 mM: 25%,pH 8.0) containing 1% 3-(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio!-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS). Thehomogenate was centrifuged at 10,000×G for 30 minutes, and the resultantsupernatant was stored at -80° C. before being assayed for COX activity.

b. Assay for COX I and COX II activity:

COX activity was assayed as PGE₂ formed/μg protein/time using an ELISAto detect the prostaglandin released. CHAPS-solubilized insect cellmembranes containing the appropriate COX enzyme were incubated in apotassium phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 8.0) containing epinephrine,phenol, and heme with the addition of arachidonic acid (10 μM).Compounds were pre-incubated with the enzyme for 10-20 minutes prior tothe addition of arachidonic acid. Any reaction between the arachidonicacid and the enzyme was stopped after ten minutes at 37° C./roomtemperature by transferring 40 μl of reaction mix into 160 μl ELISAbuffer and 25 μM indomethacin. The PGE₂ formed was measured by standardELISA technology (Cayman Chemical). Results are shown in Table II.
